It's not the IMP mailing list bouncing it, it's one of the
recipients. Since they include the entire message that bounced, we can
see the final Received: header:

Someone at berdmann.de has a misconfigured mail daemon. :-)

Anyhow, the problem with large mailing lists that don't rewrite the
envelope is that posters receive bounces. Unless you get a bounce from 
horde.org, though, it's just one recipient.
